TLDR

The existence of geographically mediated "spillovers" from university research to commercial innovation is explored using state-level time-series data on corporate patents, corporate R&D, and university research. A significant effect of university research on corporate patents is found, particularly in the areas of drugs and medical technology, and electronics, optics, and nuclear technology. In addition, university research appears to have an indirect effect on local innovation by inducing industrial R&D spending. Copyright 1989 by American Economic Association.read more

University spillovers and new firm location
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of locational choice as a firm strategy to access knowledge spillovers from universities and found that new knowledge and technological-based firms have a high propensity to locate close to universities, presumably in order to access Knowledge spillovers.

Networks, Propinquity, and Innovation in Knowledge-intensive Industries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the joint effects of geographic propinquity and network position on organizational innovation using negative binomial count models of patenting activity for U.S.-based life science firms in industrial districts and regional clusters across a 12-year time period, 1988-1999.
The innovation value chain
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model the innovation value chain for a large group of manufacturing firms in Ireland and Northern Ireland and find strong complementarity between horizontal, forwards, backwards, public and internal knowledge sourcing activities.

The double-edged sword of recombination in breakthrough innovation
Sarah Kaplan,Keyvan Vakili +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that, counter to theories of recombination, patents that originate new topics are more likely to be associated with local search, while economic value is the product of broader recombinations as well as novelty.

What do we know about geographical knowledge spillovers and regional growth?: A survey of the literature
Thomas Döring,Jan Schnellenbach +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of geographical knowledge spillovers and regional growth can be found in this article, where Doring et al. provide a survey of theoretical and empirical findings highlighting the question of how geographically limited knowledge diffusion can help to explain clusters of regions with persistently different levels of growth.

Patent Statistics as Economic Indicators: A Survey
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey on the use of patent data in economic analysis, focusing on the patent data as an indicator of technological change and concluding that patent data remain a unique resource for the study of technical change.

Technological Opportunity and Spillovers of R&D: Evidence from Firms' Patents, Profits and Market Value
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that firms' patents, profits and market value are systematically related to the technological position of firms' research programs, and that firms are seen to "move" in technology space in response to the pattern of contemporaneous profits at different positions.

Econometric Models for Count Data with an Application to the Patents-R&D Relationship
TL;DR: This paper developed and adapted statistical models of counts (nonnegative integers) in the context of panel data and used them to analyze the relationship between patents and R&D expenditures. But their model is not suitable for the analysis of large-scale data sets.

Technological Opportunity and Spillovers of R&D: Evidence from Firms' Patents, Profits, and Market Value
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of exogenous variations in the state of technology (technological opportunity) and of the R&D of other firms (spillovers of r&D) on the productivity of firms' R&Ds were quantified.
